MightyMike New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 09/06/2006 6:03 pm For some of you who may recall, I posted a question about 2 months ago the gist of it was whether there may be prejudice in grading of coins because you were a novice. You may recall that I purchased 10 buffalos from the mint. Well I submitted the 10 to PCGS because it appeared from what I learned from you that they were the most conservative based and also because their grading may have a greater resale value. I will post the results tomorrow evening. But just for fun, does anyone want to guess how many, if any, came back at 70 and how many came back at 69? Note: All were graded at 69 or 70. Once again, I thank those of you who responded with your insights and kindness. Take care. Report this Post to the Staff

fengk Pillar of the Community United States 986 Posts	Posted 09/06/2006 6:14 pm Wow, congrats on even getting one 70. The grading companies have been really tight on giving out those. I'll say 2 70's and 8 69's. Any plans for them? Report this Post to the Staff

I will go with this responce because I would be very suprised if PCGS would let more than 1 out of 10 get the 70 grade no matter how nice they were Report this Post to the Staff

MightyMike, If these were purchased directly from the mint and has all the packing and COA items and no damage to any of the containers, why get them slabbed at all? Personally, I would rather have a coin fresh from the mint in all of its original packing, etc. than something in a "slab". There are reasons for slabs that have been propounded on this site, but in addition there are reasons not to have items slabbed. Of course your choice, I think the better choice for me, LEAVE THAT BEAUTIFUL COIN FREE TO BREATHE.....However it turns out, good luck in your decision. Berry Report this Post to the Staff
lou b New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 09/07/2006 10:44 am I have to agree with Berry. I believe the grading companies are getting too much attention with some of the new coins that have come out lately. I ask you all one simple question. How can a coin be graded 'mint state' when it has been taken out of it's mint packaging? I have 4 proof buffaloes and they are all 70s. I say so. Report this Post to the Staff
MightyMike New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 09/07/2006 5:20 pm Well for those of you who guessed 4 -70's you win a gold coin!:) I was thinking maybe 2, 3 if I was lucky. Just wondering if anyone else had similar results. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
